Projects

The Local Government Commission offers a variety of services to assist local elected officials, their staff, and other dedicated community leaders in creating healthy, walkable, and resource-efficient communities. We provide workshops, trainings, forums, presentations, design charrettes, community image surveys, and policy development assistance.

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, we strive to offer cost effective services covering a variety of subject areas such as climate change, water, energy, and healthy community design. The LGC also works to link the public and local government officials. The LGC can work with you to customize the types of services that best meet your community’s needs.
